Spanky, Hank is a lot like my cousin who doesn't believe Americans ever walked on the moon. I can protest all I want, but because I wasn't there to see them driving around in the little golf cart, my opinion means nothing. Plus also there was apparently a show on Fox about how it was all a big setup.
I can't prove they walked on the moon, ergo everyone's opinion on the subject is equally valid and I am a condescending elitist to suggest otherwise. This is a very neat little argument and can be applied to
almost any historical situation.
Unless you can show Hank polaroids of you standing in the primordial ooze as the lightining hits, you don't have a chance. But then again we know that photos can lie, too.
